It was just after 8 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! James and me were relaxing talking over the sports results, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Critchmere and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Land Rover lease car. She was very distressed it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could get back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off relaxed and much less worried. One more misfuel correction in Surrey well done in my books!

Our Areas of Competence :

We can assist you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Surrey we are noticing increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not understanding the right way to use it (please note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

Phone us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel will trigger idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be wholly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps dirty fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.}

Disposal of Waste Fuel

Got a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of the garden with out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial premises in Surrey for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can access it, we can empty it for you.

Re-Fueling Support

Out of fuel in Critchmere (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Surrey Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill the car. They will be able to deal with any of the typical problems which might come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Critchmere - Critchmere Vehicle Misfuel

Last monday a gentleman telephoned us because his Land Rover cut out along a street in Critchmere. He had unintentionally put the incorrect fuel in the diesel car and was only able to drive so far as the street before needing to stop. It was still in the early hours of the morning and our technical engineer, who lives close by, was with him in less than 20 minutes. We were able to drain the incorrect fuel and put fresh diesel back in the car. "Thank you for your immediate response, especially at 6 a.m., I truly appreciate it."
